It Makes Me Happy

Several years ago a very successful photographer friend of mine imparted some advice on me; he said he almost never sells a sunrise or sunset image, so he almost never shoots them anymore.  I took his words of wisdom to heart, at least for a while.
 When I first got into photography, sunsets and sunrises were some of my very first subjects.  They are daily events in nature, there for us to see and enjoy and capture. They are all different, the colors are amazing and they spark a great emotion inside of me.  I respect my friend greatly and still take any advice he gives me and, I may never sell a sunset photo, however I will enjoy watching and photographing them and I’ll be richer for the experience.
